Drew University Athletics

Hosking retired as the equipment manager at Drew University at the end of October 2020 following 38 years of service. He served the Rangers and their 20 varsity sports teams by performing myriad duties, from purchasing and maintaining all athletic equipment to laundering of practice gear and uniforms. He also held additional roles at some point throughout his career, including game management coordinator and building manager of the Simon Forum.

Hosking's greatest gift to the University may well be the positive impact he made on the students and student-athletes he encountered throughout his career. In 2001 a group of former student- athletes established the William G. Hosking Scholarship, which provides need-based aid to a Drew student who is actively involved in extracurricular activities and serves the community. Its recipients are expected to exemplify some of Hosking's characteristics, such as dedication, honor, commitment, and loyalty to the University. It has become one of the largest endowed scholarships in Drew history.
